This is not the finished picture, it is so dang cute I wanted it to be the thumbnail LOL
The antennae! Held by happy husband. You can just see his mustache lol.

I mad a little pollen/whatever flag on the last two legs inspired by the hair on actual white-tailed bumblebee legs. It would look way too clunky to do on all three pairs, and I actually made the front pair a little skinnier to add a bit of delicate design. I also found out too late that I may have placed the first pair too much towards the butt and just barely crowded the second and third pair into the stomach.
---
Aww yiss. The effects of properly aligned legs.
---
And look at that little grey and white boo-tay.
---
And now the antennae!
---
First pair of legs! Doesn't he look like a fond little angry idiot.
---
Then the wings! I crocheted two colors in one magic circle, then folded/triangle folded for one wing.
---
I tried hard to pay attention to the tapering black/grey/white of the tail. It didn't work out exactly how I thought but I think how slim the grey is actually kin of makes it work better. I used short rows to go back and forth and create the ball-curve. I remember when I first was trying to use short rows I was like damn this is frustrating but now they are so vital to making 3-D or stuffed animal type projects.
---
And then after medium deliberation on how exactly to get it to look grumpy, I did the grumble mouth!
---
The grumblebee's basic body!
I'm not actually when I started this. This first picture I took was....Feb 11th?
---
And the grumblegrandson!
I sacrificed artistic integrity of the limbs and usual pipe cleaners for stub-stub legs as it's for toddlers and I didn't want an unfortunate thing to happen.
It was hard to decide what color to do the eyebrows and mouth since the face is not all one color.
The lesson I've learned is that if you decrease each row you will get a flat circle and not a sphere. I just hate stopping a rhythm.

Grumblebee needs a wife
Wings!

We decided to do pink instead of black/yellow just to be funny but now she really doesn't look like a bee....looks like a fat strawberry peppero or something
Stupid little fond thing
Make a bee family
